(18, 5'3, FCBA Debut, Free Agent)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse
BEFORE:
Maddie Ziegler’s going full steam ahead with her Dollhouse debut, recently defeating Madison Beer and Natalia Dyer and now going up against famed Tiktok dancer and content creator Charli D’Amelio. Judging from the cheers and shouts that greet both young ladies as they enter the press hall earlier this evening, they certainly have the social media numbers to back their celebrity status up.
"People think me and Charli are huge friends or something, but actually…, we only did one makeup video together for Youtube.” Maddie says first from the long table. “That doesn't make us BFFs or anything. I guess she's seen my success and decided to try her luck at boxing too. I'm sure she could be decent at it with time. She has a great athletic body, she’s young…younger than me actually! But I'm not sure why she chose me of all girls as her first opponent. My skill level is much higher than anyone fighting their first fight and she's going to find that out tonight. So yeah…Looking forward to beating you Charli." Maddie ends with a cocky tilt of the head and glance in Charli’s direction.
At the other end of the table, young D'Amelio doesn’t look too perturbed. For a complete newcomer to the ring, the 18 year old TikTok star has kept her cool all this while, perhaps more than used to the spotlights being shone on her.
"Maddie's right… we're both too competitive to be too friendly with each other, at like, everything, and especially tonight when we’re actually fighting. Tonight's all about the win for me. To answer her questions - I decided to try boxing because I think I can be excellent at it, simple as that. I chose Maddie because I think I can beat her and because beating her after all her recent wins would make quite a lot of noise…” Charli smirks, not ashamed to admit she’s looking to make headlines tonight. “I've been training for this moment since the beginning of the year and I literally can't wait to finally show people my boxing.” Charli takes a moment to turn and look in Maddie’s direction. “If you think you're going to have an easy time tonight, well…get ready to be shocked. This might just be your first knockout loss, Mads." she says, ending her statement with an equally confident smirk.
In this age of fast-food celebrity and news, anyone can easily capture the hearts and minds of an audience. Charli and Maddie both milk the attention during the official weigh-ins and staredown, first disrobing to nothing but their skivvies before flexing their biceps on the scales. Then, they face each other down at the podium, and Maddie’s two-inch height advantage might give her a slight edge here, but Charli's too busy showcasing her toned and lean figure to all FCBA fans seeing her for the first time tonight as she flexes her biceps playfully to the cameras.
Before things get heated, the fight officials separate them apart. Charli is still acting very confident for her underdog status tonight, pursing her lips and smirking constantly in Maddie’s direction, all too reminiscent of a certain Logan Paul and his celebrity brother, both of whom also entered the boxing world recently, to much success and fanfare.
Hours later, the arena is packed to the rafters for two relative rookies to the FCBA world. That’s the power of social media, folks, with fans and detractors worldwide also tuning in to see their celebrities throw down within the confines of a boxing ring to decide who’s simply better.
Charli D’Amelio walks out first as loud cheers fill the arena, by the sound of it, the arena is PACKED with D’Amelio fans, all here to witness this young star making her boxing debut tonight. The 18 year old is accompanied by her trainer and medical team and is dressed in a grey sports bra and black tights, her young body looking toned and ready to rumble with her raven hair in a tight ponytail as she marches towards the ring all smiles, waving her black gloves to the fans and stretching her neck left and right.
The announcer then welcomes Maddie “Mad Dog” Ziegler into the arena, and the new Dollhouse star comes out to much fanfare herself, looking good and eager to go in a sky-blue and white sports bra and matching short tights, complete with matching blue and white gloves acknowledging the fans with her hand raised high as she makes her way to the ring wearing a confident smile. Ziegler is accompanied to the ring by the Dollhouse team including head trainer Kristanna Loken and immediately gives Charli a glare from across the ring once inside.
Referee calls this next CBAD bout to order! Both girls are bouncing up and down and ready to roll in their corners and with a wave of his hand, HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!
ROUND 1:
Maddie takes her newest opponent seriously, despite this being Charli’s first ever fight. The newest Dollhouse member marches forward in slow, deliberate steps, her arms firmly up and only firing a jab when the close is clear. Charli takes some of the first hits to her arms, but winces as Maddie powers a cross into the center of her guard--the first taste of her opponent’s power, and it won’t be the last. So far, it’s Maddie who’s initiating the exchanges, but Charli’s beginning to fire back soon enough, her own haphazard lunges at the Doll betraying her rookie status. D'Amelio’s got a lot to catch up on, and no matter how much ‘practice’ she’s had in the gym, it doesn’t compare to dancing in a real fight. She launches her combos towards Maddie but doesn’t seem to realise that hitting the forearms doesn't really count. Rookie falls back into her usual gym rhythm for the rest of the round, but several low thuds to the body do land their mark, drawing sweet grunts from Maddie’s lips. First taster of a round, in the end, sees less action than expected, but it’s still a little shocking that the newcomer takes it by a close margin.
ROUND 2:
Charli’s getting into the groove of this boxing thing, coming in faster this time and initiating with a jab-cross combo straight to Maddie’s arms, putting the other girl on notice. Ziegler is fine to play this game, however, blocking and weaving like she’s been trained to do, then punishing Charli back with that overhand right hook to the side of the head. Miss Ziegler hasn’t been idle either these past few months, and can’t afford to drop to a complete newbie especially when she just signed on the dotted line. She counter-punches with the grace of a veteran, drawing sharp yelps from Charli’s lips when another hook hammers hard into her ear. Charli finally realises that pure aggression isn’t going to work, but it’s a little too late to salvage this round, and both women resort back to circling and jabbing at each other’s frames to the bell.
ROUND 3:
Charli’s inexperience is showing in spades, however. When she comes in to attack, her left-right combos are too slow and too predictable, allowing Maddie to block them with ease before they land on her face. Charli instinctively goes south to Maddie’s body, of course, showing early promise and a grin when she hooks a left to the stomach, then almost staggers her with a follow-up uppercut to the arms. Maddie, however, is prepared, having braced her body earlier and then absorbed the follow-up blow to her raised guard. Swiftly, she torques a hook of her own across Charli’s pretty face, blasting the brunette clear off to the side! OUCH!! D'Amelio doesn’t know what hit her, and goes stumbling towards the ropes with her mouth hanging open. All Ziegler’s show from then on out, as the Doll swoops in and pays her rival back with several thumps to the midsection, before bopping Charli’s chin upwards and to either side, as Charli scrambles to cover up! Sound of the bell and Ziegler’s in full control of the situation - she didn’t have enough time to knock her foe down to the ground, but it looks like it may just be a matter of time!
ROUND 4:
Charli braves these waters again, though, that smirk is long gone from her face and now looking a little wary of getting punched in the kisser. By contrast, Maddie’s mowing inwards with confidence, throwing an early combo to the head but looking a little surprised when it’s blocked. She wanted Charli to back down and go back into a full panic mode, but instead, D'Amelio bites back with a right jab to her nose, then another flurry to her chest and body, which forces Maddie to cover up and scram. Second minute sees both women dinging punches to the face and body, each trying to break the other down and prove to the fans that they’re the best celebrity on the block. Maddie tries again with an overhand right, hoping it will be enough to shock and awe her opponent and send Charli down. But D'Amelio blocks it with a raised arm, throwing a hook of her own towards the chin. But it was lacking in power, and Maddie, looking a little dazed, finally resets at a distance, shaking her head. Close round yet again to D'Amelio, who looks ready to brawl all the way to Round 10 if need be!
ROUND 5:
Ladies circle with a little more purpose and poise, and we must say: Charli D'Amelio has done a fantastic job of holding onto her marbles in this debut fight, especially against someone as seasoned as Maddie Ziegler. Tell that to the Doll, however, and you’d earn yourself a hook across the face. This is no laughing matter to Ziegler, who thought that fighting a complete rookie would be a breeze in the park. She hadn’t counted on Charli being able to fight back! D'Amelio shows early aggression, mixing up her jabs and landing several punches to the Doll’s body and lips. Maddie’s biding her time, however, keeping her guard loose, before stunning Charli back with a left jab to the cheek, another hard bop to the stomach to stun her on the spot. Girls go at this back-and-forth for another minute or so, and several times, get into an all-out flurry session in the middle of the ring, their arms just flying in on all cylinders. Maddie’s running out of patience soon, however, and in the third minute manages to raise her left arm to intercept an incoming hook from a tiring Charli….the Tiktok dancer’s gloves merely bounces off the guard, and she’s NOT ready as BAM!!! Her face DISAPPEARS into Maddie’s glove as the blonde fires a massive counter-hook! Good lord! Ziegler’s accuracy on full display here with that hook landing square on D’Amelio’s chin shuttering it to pieces!!! And D’Amelio CRUMPLES to the mat!!! Oh wow! She’s DOWN! She’s out??!! Charli collapses to the mat sprawled on her side and not moving! This might be over folks! Referee tries to check on her but all he gets are incoherent groans and loud gasps of spent air from the barely responsive teen. He has no choice but to wave the rest of this fight off, with this contest ending via flash KO!
Official Decision: Maddie Ziegler defeats Charli D'Amelio via KO5!
AFTER:
Big grin and a sigh of relief on Ziegler’s face as she turns to face the crowd and raises her arms in triumph. Perhaps she expected to end this a lot earlier but to Charli’s credit, the feisty newcomer showed plenty of potential, taking Maddie to the 5th round, more than most of her opponents thus far were able to do and the blonde is just happy to get this over as she adds another win to her record and grows her winning streak to 7!
D'Amelio’s team rushing into the ring to revive the fallen teenager as Ziegler gets her arm raised by the ref, garnering loud cheers from the fans who certainly got their money’s worth tonight watching these two young dancers go at it with an exciting finish to boot!
Maddie continues to circle the ring, doing a victory lap and waving to the fans, waiting for Charli to get back to her senses and approaching the 18 year old when she’s finally able to be taken to her stool and sit down with the help of her medical team.
Maddie then exchanges a few words with the still foggy looking Charli, and the girls separate with a double fist bump, showing respect for each other despite their early fighting words, which is always good to see!
D’Amelio looking upset as she’s worked on in her corner – the debutant surely believed she could end this fight with a big upset win, but alas, she’ll have to wait a little longer for her first FCBA win, which judging by her performance tonight, will surely come sooner rather than later if she keeps at it... and we sure hope she does!
Ziegler exits the ring shortly after, taking a quick victory march out of the arena - the victorious blonde has no time to celebrate and plenty on her mind as she prepares to face undefeated Lookout! star Millie Bobby Brown on next weekend’s PPV for a big showdown between two promising young flyweight talents which is sure to be a wild banger and end one girl’s impressive winning streak! We can’t wait! But until then… so long folks!
